Thinking about the "E" entry in "My Texas Alphabet", I totally forgot about the Kerrville Empty Cross Mountain. It is quite a spectacular site and we did visit it some time ago.
The story shared by the site creators, tells about a lot of series obstacles that they had to overcome before they were able to complete that project.
There are quite a few sculptures by local artists in the garden and more being created.

The Empty Cross is the main feature of the Park. You can see it from quite a distance.
Some miracles took place there as well. When you are at the Coming King Garden of Prayer, look for a free CD with a recording that informs about it all.
You can also find out about the miracles and the Garden here: https://thecrossatkerrville.org.
By the way, are you in need of a miracle?
People have written their prayers on the stones provided by the site creators. We left our prayer their too.
Thanks for sharing this! I was wondering why I'd never heard of this, in all the years my parents lived in Fredericksburg (and often went to Kerrville for doctor appointments or some shopping when Fredericksburg was smaller). I see that this place did not open to the public until 2012, and my parents moved to Austin the next year.
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome! It is certainly a good place to visit.
